Streszczenie:

The seventh volume of this periodical develops two trends seen
in a number of earlier volumes of Analecta Archaeologica Ressoviensia.
One trend is to focus on themes and this volume, entitled Archaeology
in a town, a town in archaeology, addresses the archaeology
of medieval and early modern towns. This theme originated at
the conference “Towns of Lublin Land in the Middle Ages and Early
Modern period. Problems and Research Perspectives“, which was
held at MCSU in Lublin, 6–7 December 2007. Our volume presents
this topic in a broader geographical context.
The second trend is the attempt to reflect the problems of urban
archaeology as a subject of interdisciplinary studies. The predominant
archaeological perspective is complemented by articles
reflecting on the theory of archaeology of “the second degree”, cultural
anthropology, geography, history and urban planning.
This volume also contains contributions celebrating the 80th
birthday of eminent art historian Jadwiga Teodorowicz-Czerepińska,
a researcher of urban planning and the urbanisation of Podkarpacie
and Lublin areas.
